So today will be my 4 week mark and I've lost 29.6 lbs so far. The first 2 weeks I lost almost 15 lbs each. These past 2 weeks I haven't lost any. Is this normal??? I'm starting to get discouraged. :(

Wow! Sounds like you're doing great! It is normal. Keep eating well and the weight loss will continue. .

Wow 30 in a month is awesome! Yes it's totally normal, your body needs to catch up! The 3-4 week stall is incredibly normal. If week pick up again soon.

My bariatric team prepared me to expect that, but it's still aggravating when it happens. This is as normal as normal gets, and you are doing great. Oh, BTW, it won't be your last stall, so just know that if you drink Water until your eyeballs float, eat your Proteins first (and plenty of them), and pretend that carbs cost ten dollars cash up front (each!), you will do just fine. I wish you good luck and good health.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
